As you may have noticed, FOX has been having a tough time establishing new dramatic TV series. Last season’s Almost Human was cancelled. Sleepy Hollow was renewed but is now struggling. How is this season’s Red Band Society performing? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Cancel or keep it?
A dramedy, Red Band Society revolves around the young patients and caretakers of the pediatric ward of the renowned Ocean Park Hospital in Los Angeles. The cast includes Octavia Spencer, Dave Annable, Griffin Gluck, Nolan Sotillo, Charlie Rowe, Astro, Zoe Levin, Ciara Bravo, Mandy Moore, and Rebecca Rittenhouse.

The show debuted in mid-September to a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.1 million viewers. It was hardly a great start for the series. The second week saw the numbers drop more than 15%. A decline of that size isn’t unusual for a second week but Red Band Society didn’t have any points to spare.
Episode three held steady but the fourth installment fell even lower, to a 0.9 in the demo and 2.92 million. Last week’s episode saw a bit of growth, registering a 1.0 rating with 3.165 million. Tonight’s pre-emption isn’t likely to help with the ratings.
Currently, Red Band Society is the network’s second-lowest dramatic series. Only Gracepoint is doing worse and it surely won’t be back for another season.
Unless the ratings keep rising, Red Band Society will surely be cancelled by spring, if not sooner. The network ordered some additional scripts today. If the scripts end up being produced, it’s likely only because they don’t have another show to fill the timeslot.
Hopefully, whenever the show comes to close, faithful viewers will be given some sort of closure to the story of the kids from Ocean Park Hospital.
But, what do you think? Do you like Red Band Society? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Cancel or keep?
PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THE SHOW! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! MY FRIEND AND I FANGIRL OVER IT EVERY DAY! I INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT AND I WOULD CRY IF IT WAS CANCELLED! ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS ON TV! DO NOT TAKE IT AWAY!!!

Don’t take it away I love it! It’s a unique show and I haven’t seen anything like it, My whole house watches it. I love the way Charlie narrates and the way things play out. I don’t want it being cancelled like other show I watched.
Red band society is such a good show. Most TV shows nowadays are the same. But this show has substance so they have keep it
I completely agree, I love this show! The actors are great, it’s a new story, and the cast is very lively!!! KEEP IT
Absolutely keep please!!
PLEASE do not cancel this show before it has a chance to improve! I really enjoy this show! The viewers only represent who watches the show on Wednesday nights when it airs….there are probably many more viewers that don’t watch it at the time because they can’t because they have other obligations!
Please don’t cancel Red Band Society! I love this show so much, I look forward to it every week! It’s an amazing show and it doesn’t deserve to be cancelled.
To FOX; Please give the show a chance and just renew it for a second season. It’s a great show. Just good TV in all aspects. I believe your problem is the day and time you air the show. Look at another day and time. Also pick an evening either during the week or a day on the weekend and run a marathon of the first five episodes. That way the show gets a fair chance. Also revamp the way you promote the show. You should promote the positive side of show. Showing the good that comes from the show.… Read more »
DONT DELETE IT I LOVE IT
I Agree with the other comments. I have been watching Red Band Society since it first came out and loved it. I honestly think if Fox cancels this show I will stop watching Fox all together. Red Band Society shows what some teens go through. And also I am so tired of there being so many violent shows and other shows that are worse. #KeepRedBandSociety
its a great show! it’s an awe-inspiring. it’s shows that even thou you have cancer or any sickness you can still have a normal life! it shows and helps people that fight cancer that people care and love them. KEEEPPP THEEEE SHOWWWW
I love this show! Please don’t cancel it!
Stopped watching it after the first couple of episodes. Absurd plot lines. Cliche characters with no dimension. The hospital setting is as unrealistic as the one used for HOUSE.
I agree profusely. Its terrible. Please cancel this awful show. The characters are so cliched i couldnt even believe it. That hospital is unbelievably unrealistic unless all those kids parents are rich. The plotline is going nowhere fast. They will just kill off a character to get people to feel something for this silly show.
I’ve been watching this show since it premiered on FOX and I instantly fell in love with it. I like the characters, cast, storyline, everything! This show demonstrates the types of things teens are going through when battling a life-threatening illness. I’m sick and tired of watching perfectly good shows like Red Band Society be thrown away by poor ratings, horrible reviews, and lack of interest from the viewers. KEEP RED BAND SOCIETY!!!! If they cancel this show, there’s something completely wrong with this country, because they aren’t seeing what we’re seeing and that’s a flawless TV show that doesn’t… Read more »
I so agree! I am tired of watching violence and non family shows where I’m watching my own shows and my kids are watching poor content cartoons and its seperate due to the lack of family shows. People would rather watch violent or sex! Why can’t we just have good content!
